Monroe Local School Balanced Literacy Handbook: District guide for language arts instruction in the building.
Edcite is focused on providing teachers an easy way to create Common Core assignments that fit their class. We support Smarter Balanced and PARCC question-types, including ELA passage highlighting, dynamic Math graphs and image labeling. Teachers can easily share assignments in the Edcite Library; where other teachers can discover & tailor these to fit their own classes. Teachers save time not only in assignment creation but also in reviewing student responses using our automated grading and feedback features.
Vocabulary critical to the Common Core Standards English Worksheets Land is the creation of 17 teachers. When the Common Core Standards began being implemented in schools, we felt a little lost. The curriculum got flipped upside down in some of our States. In others, teaching became more like acting. We basically read from a script all day. Looking for resources that were aligned to the Common Core for Language Arts became impossible. That's when we knew we had to do something to help teachers every where. Every month we create new worksheets for you to enjoy. All of our work is directly created in response to the English Language Arts Common Core Standards. Each section, grade level, and topic is aligned to the Core Standards. A free web portal designed to assist anyone who wants to find high-quality, free Internet resources to use in classroom instruction, developing project ideas, reinforcing specific subject matter areas both in the class and at home and even for online technology tutorials. The portal is used by teachers, parents and students of all ages on six of the seven continents (there are not many classrooms in Antarctica) and is available to anyone with an Internet connection.

Donalyn Miller's website: "She has worked with a wide variety of upper elementary and middle school students and currently teaches fifth grade at O.A. Peterson Elementary in Fort Worth, Texas. In her popular book, The Book Whisperer, Donalyn reflects on her journey to become a reading teacher and describes how she inspires and motivates her middle school students to read 40 or more books a year. If you love books, especially those written for children and young adults, then you are an honorary member of The Nerdy Book Club. Like us, you probably always have a book along to read, a title to recommend, and time to talk about works held dear. This online space was designed to give us a home to share that love of reading with others as well as to organize voting and announcing winners of our First Annual Nerdies Book Awards.
